About the project
The unity of the family is a strong value with our clients. That unity is threatened by detention and deportation. We are establishing a legal fund to provide assistance so that clients can afford a lawyer to apply for bond for them to ask for release from detention under bond.
Casa San Jose is a community resource center that advocates for and empowers Latinos by promoting integration and self-sufficiency.
The Steps
We are raising community investment for legal fees to keep local families together this coming Three Kings holiday.
Why we‘re doing it
To model a strong culture of acceptance and integration in which immigrants and other newcomers are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness and can freely preserve and celebrate their unique cultures while adapting to their new lives in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
